Also b/c this costume hides Batman's eyes.
Only criticism I have for both AC and AA is the visible pupils on Batman's mask. At least they should've blackened out the skin around the eyes like the movies did.

Looks like the costume pack is out. If I get the game on steam would I purchase dlc through gfw?

Bloodborne is shit
Why are the combat challenges so much more difficult as Catwoman?
I swear to god the enemies throw more shit and rush with riot shields more often when I'm playing as her.
Also she doesn't seem to be effective with crowd control, which is making dealing with two titans and the one armed clown beyond annoying.

It's a bit tricky with Selena. True that
As with crowd control, spam that spin whip attack (x + o for ps3) . Instant knockdowns or stuns on any enemy within a pretty large vicinity
Killer Croc?
I would like to know as well. I'm debating whether to use my Bing Rewards for Amazon gc or MS points to get one of those 2 DLC's.

Just played the boss fight against Freeze again in New Game +. It feels a lot harder this time. You have to think of just about every possible way to damage him to beat him which I like since it makes you think. More boss fights should be like it.
Because Batman IIRC is the only character with the weapon break special combo move. Make sure to use the aoe knockdown special combo (A+B on 360 controller). Other than that just be more attentive.
Funhouse Brawl extreme (I guess you are talking about round 2 or 4) is pretty annoying when you have everyone in one spot. If you are concentrating on doing the beatdown on the Hammer brother make sure to only do 3 or 4 before dodging or you'll get caught by a Titan swipe.
I just beat all of the Combat Challenges as Batman. It really wasn't bad at all, took me about 2 hours total. But I still have to do Predator Challenges, Campaigns (what exactly are those anyway?) and then everything all over again and Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing.
This could take a while.
This could take a while.
Campaigns are a set of 3 challenge maps but with modifiers. Basically the goal is to get 9 medals (3x3 basically). You are assigned a handful of modifiers (both positive and negative) and you have to complete all three challenge maps using all the modifiers (you can pick and choose, any unused are forced on you at the last one)
If you don't know what modifiers are, try the unranked/custom challenges - things like renegerating health, tougher enemies, accessible gun racks, pre-mined predator areas, 1-hit gadgets amongst other things.

Hoping they announce some big dlc at the vgas. I wouldn't be surprised if it featured black mask as the main villain in some sort of new scenario. I mean his model was created and everything and never made an appearance in the main story, just the robin dlc. Only thing mentioned with him is that he was the first inmate to break out of arkham city, but was later captured in a meat packing plant and brought back in.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
The amount of content in this game is insane. I've already completed the main story and 80% of the side missions and I'm still only 65% complete overall. There are just so many goddamn trophies and combat/predator/campaign challenges. I really doubt I'll have the patience to complete everything. I mean, I've solved about 310 Riddler challenges and I still have over 100 left. Fucking hell.
Spoiler related to Doomrider's spoilered text:
Killer Croc isn't in the game and you cannot meet him. If Killer Croc is really the bio that he's missing, then I bet you it'll be unlocked once he scans the Killer Croc-centric riddle. There is only one riddle that references Killer Croc in the game and from what I remember it's in the Subway
No, you can meet him. With a well placed remote batarang, you can meet him in the sewer 
That's only for a limited time, though, but the riddle can be done whenever.

Ehhhh....dammit. We'll see if I even bother trying to 100% this game.
No you can always do side missions after the main game.

I got 9 riddler challenges to finish up, hopefully I will get that done after I finish U3. I'm having a real hard time doing the 'Aerial Attack of a stunned enemy into another' as I press circle and then tap x twice, I try to quickly press the directional button to go to another enemy, but it just doesn't happen....
Also, I think I have enough XP to upgrade the freeze cluster, but it's not giving me the option to do so.....is there anything in particular I need to do before I'm able to upgrade it?

I seem to be stuck in the Museum quite early on in the game. I encountered the cutscene with the penguin where he gets a load of guards to fight you, I did that, then there are 3 closed gates you have to open various ways, which I have also done, but I don't know where to go next?
There is a big looked vault door that is mostly sealed with water pouring out, and leads to the Iceberg Lounge. How do I open it?

I think you have to hit square along with the direction as you jump onto your first target (or whatever the strike button is).
The door to progress further is the left-most one. I think there is a fuse box to the left by the stairs
basically hit it with a charged Remote batarang IIRC
The other two need to be opened
in a similar fashion
Thanks, I had done all that and gotten those trophies but didn't realise the other area beyond the left door had another wall that could be destroyed.
No, you need to solve Riddler stuff before unlocking the location of the next hostage. There's this huge text on your HUD after rescuing a Riddler hostage, which says: "Solve more riddler puzzles to unlock the location of the next hostage"

Err, I only have a few Riddler secrets left to go and I'm really tempted to look up the hard Riddler puzzles, but then The Riddler would be right when he accuses me of cheating.

Is there no achievement for beating the game on Hard? I was quite good at the last game so it shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I won't bother on my first playthrough if there's no achievement to gain.
i'm having real trouble finding the dead guys for the Identity Theft side missions. I suppose I could go look at a guide, but I'd rather not.
Is there any rhyme or reason to where these guys show up, or do you just have to get lucky while traveling around the city?

screw GFWL! seriously, Microsoft should be ashamed of that. they should apologize to their costumer for actively trying to ruin their gaming experience.
and to think i was kind of an apologist at one point thinking the hate GAF has for this thing was undeserved!
i had to trow away a perfectly fine save game with half the game done because of how stupid the GFWL software is. basically your save games are tied to your GFWL account and that would be fine if it was just that.
but no, it's not just that! turns out every time you download your profile to your PC (being the same PC, same windows installation or a different PC altogether) that profile is treated as an entirely different profile as far as save games are concerned!
basically if for whatever reason you have to redownload your profile (because it gets corrupted, because your hdd dies, etc) your perfectly fine save games are useless because even if you are using the very same live account the game will think it's not the same account! and that's beyond STUPID!
sorry for this post but i had to vent! stupid Microsoft with their idiotic decisions almost ruined the game for me.
GFWL needs to die a terrible death and i'm happy it seems to be on that way.
and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD make a backup of your profile under "C:\Users\your account\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\Content" because if you have a backup of your saves but don't have a backup of your profile you could as well just trow them in the recycle bin because they would be USELESS!

Advance the plot. If you've already beaten the game, just glide around for a while. It shouldn't take long.
Towards the end of the game.
Yes and you have to do them all again for one of the trophies/cheevos

Just finished this, pretty short, I actually thought the percentage meter was for the story mission, I thought I was half way done then BAM, finished, at bit disappointing but I enjoyed the game and Im currently doing side stuff now.
NG+ is no joke, but I'm appreciating the combat that much more because of it. Really making me use all of my unlocks and abilities. It hasn't even been that long since I blasted through on normal and I was already getting goosebumps at the music and opening again. So many games already played in between now and then, but this is still my GOTY.
I was doing sidemissons last weekend and just did it as a joke was shocked when an achievement unlocked.
